Control: The Foundation of Life

As the title suggests, the book offers a broad perspective which uses one simple fact of life, control, to analyze how that fact is actually an integrative concept which ties together not only an explanation for the basic existence of life forms but also how and why those life forms exhibit their typical behavior. This includes every living being from plants and microbes to humans. All live according to the same necessity of control.

The topics covered are quite diverse since the perspective encompasses many aspects of living, especially those of humans—from concepts of self and memory to religion and government to AI and the future. It is a paradigm of reality which is important for undersanding of life in general and is applicable to the reader's own daily existence.
